More and more they just seem anti-governance in nearly all forms besides religious governance. They know Trump is sabotaging these government programs and they'd just assume cheer. They try not to let on to that though. Government tells them to do something they were already doing and they'd probably still piss and moan.
Do any of you Right-Wingers actually follow your own standards? Or...

FBI Director Christopher Wray just testified that most violence is from the right wing. Then he said they were mostly anti-government and not necessarily ideological.
Funny, if I am not mistaken some seemed surprise that politics was akin to the "law of the jungle" & not gentlemen & gentlewomen's parliamentary niceties & norms..
Naive or stupid??
SomeOne will need to ask this @ some point~WHY WAS MY PARTY NOT PREPARED FOR THIS & HAVE A PLAN??
Seems this is often the case now, or so it seems....
Didn't pelosi & shumar have some kinda contingency game when there became a vacancy??
Perhaps they were not aware of her illness & visits to the hospital??
Perhaps the party made a mistake having passed up younger talent & the future of the party for elderly leadership, a mere step or two behind their competitors??
I hope I am wrong....... We'll see here soon enough

Proud MAGA Semi-Facist
Power grab? Lower taxes, pro-business, pro-2A, pro-Israel, pro-wall, anti-regulation, trade with china and even our traditional partners in the west. That's pretty much why I vote GOP. Just one example, lower taxes, how is that a "power grab"? Less revenue for the govt=less money for them to do stupid shit(actually, this tends to backfire on me, as businesses and industry tend to produce MORE, and therefore generate MORE revenue for the govt).
This doesn't strike you as slightly hypocritical, that your own standards are so fluid that you can "protest vote"? Are you satisfied when the jackasses win and erode the things you supposedly believe in?
I consider the terms "conservative" and "liberal" to be in the rear view mirror. I've pretty much given up on anyone being able to address the debt and deficit, regardless how "conservative" anyone is. And I have noticed that use of the word "liberal" has fallen off, too. With as much stuff as they want to take away from us, and the amount of stuff they want to force upon us, I guess they understand that if they call themselves liberals, they will look even more like buffoons. Now they are radicals.
Why? Vacancy on the court, prez appoints, senate confirms, because constitution. Why should this be so scary?
Okay, let's say we "don't screw up", and wait until after the election. What should we expect if Trump wins, but the senate goes blue and they keep the house. You think Trump is gonna change his nominee because of that? Or if harris wins, but the GOP takes the house and expands the senate to a veto proof majority? So much game of thrones shit going on. But I feel safe saying one thing for certain: The right won't start the violence either way, and I ain't scared of the lunatic left. As far as the left getting too much unchecked power, nutbag nancy is already talking impeachment over this: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...ut-new-impeachment-delay-scotus-vote-n1240568
Another thing in the rear view mirror. The American govt has been dysfunctional to where it's really noticeable for the last ten years, with the last 4 being nothing but a giant hissy fit by the drama queens on the left.
The GOP hasn't lowered it's standards or left them behind or whatever you think has happened to them. We are now faced with simply trying to maintain somewhat of a status quo. You lefties run around waving free college, free health insurance, all paid for by draconian taxes on the evil rich and touting the green new scam, all the while bragging about how socialist you are. I'm 63 years old. I teach welding to adults and HS kids. During the obama years(all 8 of them), you know how many employers came into the shop looking for apprentices? Zero. The Trump years(pre-pandemic)? Two to four a month(a LOT more the first few months). This is another reason why I vote GOP. Because in a few years I want to retire and not worry if there are enough people working to pay my social security and medicare(two more "freebies" from the left that got out of hand real quick). I just want to travel around the country for a few years before I go home to Jesus(yes, I'm a Christian too, known to backslide on occasion). If harris wins, I retire the next day, because I know I won't have long before the whole thing turns to dog poop. Really not looking forward to seeing millennials with "will tutor your child on the communist manifesto for food" signs. Just trying to be pragmatic, that's all.
You're a loser. You've already lost . You will never "win" at anything...

Hey fuckwit, you do realize that over the last 4 years you haven't been insulting and arguing with "right wingers" right? The people who put Trump into office aren't right wingers.

Why is this thread in current events?
Liberals don't even follow their own rules of Political Correctness or ID politics. One set of rules for me, another set of rules for thee. This is the mark of Socialist Authoritarianism.
The Dems are the same socialist party that jammed Obamacare down the people's throats on a totally partisan vote. There is nothing gentlemanly about the leftwing hypocrites when they get power.

Liberal used to mean small limited gov't. NOT in this Orwellian Democrat party. It means socialist authoritarianism.
The Democrat Party are threatening violence in the streets if they don't get their way. These are Brown Shirt socialists. They threaten to pack the court, and add DC and PR8 as States, to pack the Senate, and establish One Party Rule.

You are 25 years behind the times.
You know what for years we have been told that we should have confirmed Garland and that it was illegal and unconstitutional for the Senate not to give him a hearing during the run up to the election. Im a big enough man to admit when im wrong. We have to rectify this mistake by making sure Garret gets her hearing (and possible confirmation) before the election.
The injustice already happened to Garland. Lets not let it happen to Barret too.

fully immersed in faith..
it's strange, demmycrats seem to believe that they can do things like remove presidents and block SC nominations even though they are the minority party in the senate....if they wanted to do those things they shouldn't have lost senate seats in 2018.......poor planning.....
They will have a very hard time regaining the high ground after Trump.
The Soviets wrecked themselves. Putin is now helping Trump wreck our system of things.

The end of class politics has meant that struggles for government are just career struggles and nothing else. Over here too the Conservatives have simply spat on all they ever believed in except power. It is profoundly depressing.

The United States pushed the USSR until it collapsed upon itself as all socialist nations eventually do.
The Cold War ended upon the collapse of the USSR, but Russia is still attacking the USA. Trump pooh-poos those attacks and Trumpeteers on this forum do the same. They defend Russia's right to attack the US today because the US did the same to them during the Cold War.

The US helped, but, yes, the USSR was responsible for their own demise because Socialism doesn't work as a national system. Trump worships money and will

One day a Russian patriot will stand up for his nation and cap Putin in the back of the head. Maybe Putin's entire security team will do to him what Caligula's Praetorian Guard did to Caligula.
https://www.biography.com/political-figure/caligula
Rome soon grew to hate its leader, and citizens began a secret push to get rid of him. On January 24, 41 A.D., Caligula was attacked by a group of guardsman, following a sporting event. During the assassination, Caligula was stabbed 30 times, and killed. His body was dumped into a shallow grave, and his wife and daughter were murdered.
Caligula's death pushed the Senate to immediately order the destruction of his statues in hopes of eradicating him from Rome's history. Still, more than two millennia since his rule, Caligula's legacy is deemed a fascinating piece of Roman history.
